Do you think that even today's frontier models are unable to handle this task?

It's role is far closer to that of Shahed/LUCAS drones than that of FPV drones or MQ-9s.

"Drone" is an overloaded term. I'm not sure what someone means when they say "drone" (an FPV drone? an MQ-9?) When someone mentions "Shahed" I immediately know what's being talked about. It disambiguates what's being discussed.

Many also describe the US-made LUCAS drone as a Shahed clone, which clear up what role this system fills.

We shouldn't be the least bit surprised no human has complied so far.

If they had, then we wouldn't be having this conversation. For all we know, there may be a vast multiverse of universes some with humans and we would only find ourselves having this conversation in one of the universes where no human pressed the button.

> Speaking of vibe coding in archaic languages

Well, I think we can say C is archaic when most developers write in something that for one isn't C, two isn't a language itself written in C, or three isn't running on something written in C :)

The OG ChatGPT released less than three years ago. Prior to that, 20 lines of code would seem wild. Does anyone remember leetcode?

> Reading comprehension is shocking, not just in you but most people here. The post just said "can cause a grant to be pulled". That's entirely consistent with this list being a screening filter and somebody will look at what the grant/application is actually for.

Both the post and the comment you are replying to used the term "flagged". Best I can tell, they aren't claiming what you seem to think they are claiming.

> we expect, with Popper, that all our best theories of fundamental physics are going to be superseded eventually

This inductive case against scientific knowledge should only serve to decrease our second-order credence in the proposition that we have assigned the highest credence to the scientific hypotheses that most closely correspond with reality. It does nothing to change the fact that, conditional on evidence we currently have, we may very well have correctly proportioned credence.

This doesn't seem possible to me.

How can you correlate a Life360 or GasBuddy user with an Allstate subscriber with any level of certainty?

Couldn't they just patch out that check?

Is dropping a hat really comparable to chugging a whole bottle of liquor?
